Oh yeah!  I remember now -- the standard internet test addresses. 
And to think that I saw all of this in the router manual two days
ago.  Gah! =D   

Now that you mention all of that, I suppose that you could also use
the 90.0.0.x mask, and use a proxy server.

Hmm.  I wonder if the company that's providing these services knows
that this is possible...they _should_, considering the availability
of such tools as proxy servers, but then again, you never know =D

In the linux world at least, it is called IP Masquerade.
You have a local network where you can have any adress you want on
your
computers, though it is recommended, and standard, to use either
192.168.x.y or
10.x.y.z or one more, that I have forgotten now :)  192.168.x.y is
for C-nets,
and 10.x.y.z is for a A-net, but that doesn't stop you from useing
only a C-net
under 10.x.y.z (for example 10.0.0.x), which I prefer, because it is
easy to
write :)
Anyway, you have this local network, and then you let your linuxbox
be the
default gateway for all comps on the local net, and compile linux
with
IP-masq-support, and set it up with ipchains (2.2 kernel) or ipfwadm
(2.0
kernel)
There are HOWTO's on it.
This is totally transparent to all computers on the local net.
You could probably mess around with some wingate or something, but
that I don't
know anything about, and as I have heard you have to mess with proxys
and junk
like that then.
You could also buy a router that does the same job.
